AI Overview
Key Screw Options for Purlins:
- FastenMaster TimberLOK (2-1/2" to 10"): Heavy-duty screw for attaching purlins to rafters; replaces 3/8" lag screws.
- Simpson Strong-Tie SDS (1/4" x 6"): High-strength structural screw, ideal for wood-to-wood connections.
- GRK RSS Structural Screws: Hardened steel for high tensile strength, with CEE threads to prevent splitting.
- TIMCO Galvanised Drive Screws (75 x 5.40mm): Used for fixing roofing sheets to timber purlins.
Recommendations & Specifications:
- Material: Use corrosion-resistant or galvanized screws for pressure-treated lumber and exterior applications.
- Installation: 6" screws are often used for standard purlin-to-truss connections.
- Roofing Fix: Use 1-1/2" diaphragm screws at the eave and ridge.
- Alternative: For metal roofing-to-wood purlins, use #10 pancake head screws with EPDM washer for sealing.
